This wiki contains documentation for QPR ProcessAnalyzer - the tool for turning event data into visual process intelligence. Read [[What is QPR ProcessAnalyzer]] for an introduction of the tool. If you are new to process mining, you can start by learning about [[Process Mining Concept| concepts of process mining]].


== Analysts ==
Welcome to QPR ProcessAnalyzer Wiki! QPR ProcessAnalyzer is a software for turning event and transactional data into visual process analysis and intelligence. Topics in this documentation are divided based on user roles for process analysts, developers and administrators.
QPR ProcessAnalyzer is used via web browser. In QPR ProcessAnalyzer application you can perform various analyses on your process model. If you prefer standalone installation, you can use excel client for analyses.

To create QPR ProcessAnalyzer models, you need to Extract data from source system(s), transform data to a format compatible with QPR ProcessAnalyzer and finally load data as process model(s). To perform these tasks, you can use T-SQL and QPR ProcessAnalyzer scripting commands. When you have created a model, end-users can analyze it easily by using QPR UI’s ProcessAnalyzer application. If needed, there are plenty of tools to customize the end-user experience in QPR UI.
This section describes how to build ETL scripts that transform the source data into process mining models. There is also a detailed description how the process mining models can be configured so that they are optimal for the desired analyses. Finally, there is reference documentation for all expression language related functionality, that can be used both when writing custom KPI's in dashboards and in the ETL scripts.

== Installation ==
<div style="display: flex;flex-wrap: wrap;">
QPR ProcessAnalyzer installation requires installing the QPR ProcessAnalyzer Server to IIS and two databases. It is recommended to install also QPR UI server to fully utilize the power of QPR ProcessAnalyzer. With QPR UI installed, QPR ProcessAnalyzer can be used via web browser for analyzing process models and analyzer users do not need any additional software installed on their workstations. Developer users need also to have QPR ProcessAnalyzer Excel client installed.
